We have been working on our garden for a few months now and wow has it worked! I've been wanting to post pictures but it seems like every day it looks better and better. But, we are starting to eat things so it won't look as pretty. (tear)
In April my Dad built us this awesome garden box it is 6ft by 16ft and makes everything look so organized, which I love!
I planted seeds the end of April for sunflowers, zinnias, cilantro, parsley, basil, collard greens, loose leaf romaine and green onions. And we also planted 3 broccoli plants in April. Then the end of May we planted green, red, yellow, and jalepeno pepper plants, 3 tomato plants, green beans and cucumbers from seed. We finally added one brussel sprout from my grandma.
This is the garden May 23rd
May 23rd, everything planted.
This is today June 3rd!!!The sunflowers have grown taller than the fence and as you can see everything is growing wonderfully!!!
The beans (left) and cucumbers (middle) have come up from seeds. The tomatoes have all grown up about 2-3 levels on their cages and have flowers.
Zinnias (far left), Romaine (we are starting to eat), green onions, pepper plants (have flowers)

Yummy!! We love our veggie garden as well. We have started eating our organic lettuce and green onions. Our beets are getting bigger and some may be ready to eat by the middle of the month.
Isn't it great to walk out your back door and get stuff to eat? :)
Looks so good!
